My friend Charleen led me to discover and purchase in Montgomery this sugar chest from a well known and respected primitives dealer.
Dovetales on all for sides. The front dovetales are on the outer edges.
The dovetales in the back are hidden behind.
The lid measures 30" x 20 ". The base box measures
29" x 19 1/2 ". The height is 26".
The dividers for the sugar/brown sugar/coffee were removed long ago but the grooves show they were there and prove the original intent for the piece.
The lid shows appropriate wear.
I had to take at least one shot in sepia.
